I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I couldn't add an additional skin (Horizonz, FTW!). WinSCP just wouldn't let me create a folder or file! To correct this, open up PuTTY and type:

sudo mount -uw /

hit enter, then type:

touch /.readwrite

and hit enter again. This will allow you to transfer files over to the AppleTV.

I just wantd to let you know that after following your usb drive enabling directions, my Western Digital 1TB external hd connected to the atv without having to be mac formatted...I am guessing because it was mac tools and windows tools already located on the drive that it was able to read it...thanks for your help.
